Got bit by the tremor bug.

[cbull]

Well.... Something happened yesterday, woke up this morning and realized that, yes, I did Indeed buy this. Lol
Got carried away looking for a Lariat extended cab and somehow ended up with a tremor.
Fun little truck to drive, but with the head wind I fought on the way home I got not so fun mpgs, lol.
13.5

Your MPG should steadily improve as the truck breaks in.

I hope so, figured the crazy head wind was the issue.

hahaha I remember that well! First tank through I was really ticked that what I thought I was getting and what my mpg’s were showing had me wondering if I just did myself in... 1st tank was 14.5 mpg ?

Just passed 5K and hitting low 20’s now. One thing that took me sometime to adjust to driving it. Fly by wire was new to me. Then playing around I slowly figured it out. Lock out gears around town driving so you are not lugging in higher gears. Use sport mode too! It’s a blast but it also makes you aware of the shift points. After a month or so you’re going to catch on. Now if we can keep high test under 3 bucks a gallon we’re going to be golden!!! Love your new ride!!!

Don't know what mode I was in, probably normal.
I'll have to play around with it as you say. Fun little truck anyways, and yes fuel prices are crazy. Had plans to run all high octain none ethanol fuel, but its $3.84 a gallon vs $3.45.????
Hope the ethanol don't cause build up on my exhaust valves.

Go to a mid grade fuel then. Like an 89

Not sure anyone near me sells any none ethonal mid grade. All that I've seen around me, I think, is 91.

I had my Tremor for less than a month an now getting around 23 mph, bit it did improve slightly after placing a cover on the bed. Over the life of the truck, I have over 20 mph. I have noticed that the truck really loves the speed limit. 65 mph is it's sweet spot for better mph numbers.

Higher speeds makes it thirsty.
